"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

• What a lovely place for them to dine--a 5 star pasture.

• I have to agree with Brenda, when I try to cut up a whole chicken, I make chicken mush. I expect much of the problem comes from a dull knife. And it would take a great many chickens to get enough of the parts that my people like. If I buy a whole chicken I usually stew it, pick the meat off and make other things with the shredded meat.

• Oh my goodness. That looks awesome! Probably not on my diet but we don't diet on our Birthdays and mine is pretty soon. Hmmmmmmmm

• In western Wisconsin, we are still waiting for ANY sign of spring. Seeing the emerald green of your grass and the flowering trees gives me hope! Thanks for posting such beautiful pictures.

• I do because I like the way Mom did it; separate wish bone from the breast. With chickens today I usually cut the breast in half.

• I leaned how to cut a chicken at a very early age, I rarely purchase cut up chicken unless it is a very good price on parts that we like.

• Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My insomnia has been awful the last few days and has been making me a bit cranky. The question and all of your post just may have cured my crankiness!
